As it's been described to me, the Dark Knight storyline portrays your character as feeling that "they are being used/just tools of the Scions and the role of WoL is just some awful burden placed upon them stopping them from following their true goals" and also "enjoys the brutality of combat" and all of those points are so far away from the good-natured, eager-to-help-people healer/summoner (who is willingly helping to save the world) that I've been playing all this time. I don't want to see her acting out that dark personality.

(Which is not to say she wouldn't affected by what's happened, just not like that.)
Totally understandable. In my case, it fit perfectly as I already written into my character's lore that she has a dual personality she struggles with. One of which is similar to yours who is good-natured and eager to help, and pursues disciplines devoted towards that kind of support. However, what the WoL goes through would break most people, and it's the DRK questline that directly addresses this. It is pure, lean meat for anyone to add to their character's lore because it is so poignant and impactful.

I think you already know what you're in for if you ever choose to do this questline. It is for a Dark Knight so you're not going to find a whole lot of sunshine. Torrential tears is in the forecast instead.
